The only credit we can take for the Grippatank systems is that these systems use our Crash-Tested restraint design that we developed and MIRA tested some years ago.
The rest of the system, its design, components, build and construction is all Grippatank's work ?
Electric hose reel are a complete waste of money, Expensive ****, a chap I was Woking with his failed and he had to wind it in by hand and it nearly killed him. If they were that good Ionics would be selling them and charging you enough money to buy Millwall. ?

I have a a Waterworks hose reel, best money I’ve ever spent. Thinking of buying a second one. Never had any problems with it. And it saves wear & tear on my elbows & shoulders.

I had issues with my shoulder for a quite a few weeks with a using a manual reel which I had done for just over 7 years, within a few days and since having my waterworks reel I've been totally fine, when you can reel in up to 100 meters of hose in seconds not minutes with minimal effort, it makes a difference on your working day

I agree the manual ones are good bit slow retrieval rate due to the centre size of the drum , we have a couple and they are good but the electric ones are rubbish they need to sort out there electrical bits and bobs and put some quality control measures in place and do better wiring look at how they connect it totally inappropriate as when it gets wet and damp it will corrode and cause issues

I love saying I told you so... Can't find the post where I did though so I won't ?
Actually, on a serious note. I had 10% off with WCW as they had an offer on. If you get on with it and decide to order more it would be worth ringing them and asking if they will do something for you or holding on until they next have a 10% off offer.
